This week is WFMU's 'Singles Going Steady' week to get ready for the record fair October 22nd though 24th so I'll be putting up a different 7" every day.
First up is one from Melvins. Side A is The Star Spangled Banner. It's the version they were doing live on tour a couple years ago.
The B Side is them doing 'Detroit Rock Fukin' City'! Yeah! It's like the best band in the world covering the second best band in the world.
Today I'm offering up a quick little split 7" from Patton Oswalt and The Melvins.
Side A is Patton Oswalt's 'The Two Dumbest Cunts In The World' which pretty much consists of him berating a chick who is talking on her cell phone during one of his shows. A lot of it is him trying to figure out why she would pay to come to a comedy show then proceed to talk to someone else through out it. "Fuck you, liver!" Priceless!
The other side has two locked grooves of The Melvins' aural assault in the form of a Sonics cover, 'Boss Hoss'. It's a good little punk rock number that is given the Melvins usual shit-soaked noise treatment. Drop the needle and randomly get one groove or the other. One of the grooves is the songs in it's regular version, 'Boss Hoss'; The other is the song backwards, 'Ssoh ssob'.
Download and Enjoy!
Track listing:
Side A (Patton Oswalt): 1. The Two Dumbest Cunts In The World
What can I say about The Melvins? They are perhaps best know for kick-starting the careers of over 9,863 shitty grunge and/or metal bands, including Nirvana, while still receiving little recognition themselves. Or maybe they are better known because King Buzz-O once tried to kill a rather famous roadie with a needle full of a black tar heroin and drain-o mixture the size of Avril Lavigne's arm. Or it could be because one of them most likely was The Green River Killer. What they should be known for is kicking so much ass that you should be blinded just for reading this sentence about how much ass they kick.
Seriously though. Enterruption records originally released this on January 1st, 2005 as only 100 cassette tapes and re-released the same recording again in March 2008 as a limited edition of 500 pink(ish) vinyls, although themelvins.net claims that the number pressed is actually 460 due to a printer's error.
Other than King Buzz-O sounding a little like Merlin The Magic Mouse on 'The Bloat', this live album recorded on May 1st, 2003 at The Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, California isn't necessarily an exceptional live album. It's doesn't even have the distinction of being the best official live documentation of the band featuring Kevin Rutmanis playing his signature slide bass, that honor belongs to the most monstrous of all live albums, Colossus Of Destiny. It is, however, a typically solid live show featuring what may very well be my favorite Melvins line-up of Buzz Osborne (guitar), Dale Crover (drums) and Kevin Rutmanis (Bass). Download and behold the awesome rockingness that is The Melvins live. Track listing:
Side A: 1. At A Crawl 2. Black Stooges 3. Night Goat 4. Revolve 5. Brain Center At Whipples
Side B: 1. Let It All Be 2. Hooch 3. Mobius Hibatchi 4. The Bloat 5. The Bit
First off, welcome to Vinyl Dump. A way to revitalize some forgotten records. This site will only post digital copies of records that never had an official pressing on CD and also some hard to find, out of print albums. If a link is no longer active please email me and I will repost it unless it has been permanently taken down. If you are the rightful owner of a recording I am linking to and have a problem with the music being shared please let me know and I will remove the link. If anyone has a specific album that they would like to mail me to rip and post please let me know. I'd be more than happy to do it. As long as it doesn't suck.
